This very well may be the most compelling campaign ad we have ever seen. Learn more about Amy and her campaign here.

She is a force and no doubt would fight hard for her beliefs. I just wish she did not see our pesident as a white supremacist because he is not. And for that reason I can not vote for her. A special young lady and an asset to those who agree with her.
